Maybe I should dress more the way I want to

Actually, I kinda like being safe.

@TipsyTentacle do it anyway. Carry a knife in your purse.

@Fuego
I need to go buy knives and pepper spray.

@TipsyTentacle @Fuego I'd suggest an expandable baton over a knife, imo

@IrisKalmia @TipsyTentacle they're harder to find and expensive but yeah always a better choice. Generally I keep my 9mm in my purse

@Fuego I've been thinking of getting a carry handgun again but have generally been short on cash and a bit fearful.

@IrisKalmia @Fuego Cold Steel has good tactical walking sticks:
